Chapter 518: Five hundred sixteen, influence

"Luo Shu, where did you put that cake?" Thinking of the cake, Zhang Xiaoling asked curiously. The kitchen was so small that everything was plain to see.

"It’s right behind you," Luo Shu said with a smile, pointing behind Zhang Xiaoling.

Zhang Xiaoling turned around and indeed saw a pot behind her, and said in surprise, "Did I just see things?" She was certain the pot wasn’t there before, so how had it suddenly appeared?

"It has always been there; you just didn’t notice. Have you learned how to make the cake?" Luo Shu changed the subject.

"I’ve learned it, I’ll try making it when I get back. So, when are we going to sell cakes?" asked Zhang Xiaoling. She was really looking forward to it and wondered how many people would buy their cakes.

"You can go whenever you want," Luo Shu said with a laugh. After all, there was still a month to go before the exam, and there was nothing else to do at home.

"Then I’ll go back and give it a try first. If I succeed, I’ll let you know," Zhang Xiaoling said with a smile, waving goodbye to Luo Shu as she walked outside.

Zhao Dahai was reading through files in his office when a young soldier knocked on the door and reported, "Squadron Leader! The chief is requesting you come over; they have something they want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dahai’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rose within him. "Understood!"

He put down the files he was holding, stood up, and walked towards the chief’s office.

Arriving at the chief’s office and seeing that not only the chief but also Lu Hanmo was there, Zhao Dahai knew his guess wasn’t wrong. He had really been ruined by that Li Xiangyun!

"Please, take a seat!" Song Jiefang said, pointing to a chair nearby as Zhao Dahai entered.

Zhao Dahai saluted and sat down next to Lu Hanmo.

Song Jiefang took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and began, "I’ve just heard a rumor claiming that you and your wife had a conflict because of Instructor Lu’s wife, is that correct?"

Zhao Dahai naturally didn’t dare to deny it. "Yes! My wife hasn’t been in a good mood these past few days and tends to overthink things. I have already made things clear to her. As for Instructor Lu’s wife, that’s completely impossible. We’ve only met once and exchanged greetings; how could there be anything between us?"

"This issue has had a negative impact, and I hope you and your wife can clear this up as soon as possible. You can take a few days off," Song Jiefang said sternly. Given the Lu family’s status in Yan Country, how could Lu Hanmo’s wife be subjected to such defamation? Since the incident had occurred, it was only right to provide Lu Hanmo with a satisfactory explanation.

"Yes!" Zhao Dahai replied, his face ugly with acknowledgment. He had known it would come to this; it seemed his bright future was ruined. Knowing Lu Hanmo’s character, his wife was not someone who could be slandered without consequence.

Standing up, Zhao Dahai looked at Lu Hanmo, "Instructor Lu, I will handle this issue as quickly as possible and ensure your wife’s name is cleared."

Lu Hanmo nodded without showing any expression. He had said he wouldn’t let Shushu suffer any more slights; no matter who the other party was, he wouldn’t hold back!

This incident served as a lesson to Zhao Dahai and his wife, and also a warning to those who gossip about Shushu behind her back. If they don’t restrain themselves, he wouldn’t mind refreshing the Northwest Training Camp with new blood.

Zhao Dahai looked toward Song Jiefang, seeing him shaking his head with a sigh, he knew that there was no room for maneuver. Lu Hanmo intended to make an example out of him this time. Although he was extremely unwilling to accept this, what could he do about it?

Li Xiangyun leaned on the sofa eating an apple, watching television. Her mood was very good today, especially after hearing the guard’s wives calling Luo Shu shameless, a fox spirit, she felt completely at ease.

She didn’t need to take matters into her own hands, just the spit and scorn from those guard’s wives were enough to make Luo Shu embarrassed, to make her wish she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open.

Li Xiangyun was startled, turning her head she saw Zhao Dahai entering with a gloomy face, forcing a smile she said, "What’s making you angry? Could it be that you’re feeling sorry for that little fox spirit?"

Zhao Dahai strode forward and yanked Li Xiangyun up from the sofa, "Do you realize what you’ve done?!" His expression was ferocious as he glared at her, his whole body radiating a sinister atmosphere as if he wished he could devour her.

"You... What are you doing..." This was the first time Li Xiangyun had seen Zhao Dahai like this, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit scared.

"What am I doing? I wish I could kill you right now!" Zhao Dahai’s teeth clattered with rage, and involuntarily, the strength of his grip increased.

"What on earth happened?" Li Xiangyun asked with a trembling voice, Zhao Dahai’s grip on her collar was making it hard for her to breathe. And this version of Zhao Dahai, one she had never seen before, truly scared her!

"I told you again and again not to provoke Lu Hanmo’s wife, but you just had to do it! You insisted on claiming that I had something to do with her. Great! Now I’m finished, my future has been ruined by you, are you happy now?!" Zhao Dahai yelled loudly, his eyes flickering with intense anger, a rage that could almost incinerate Li Xiangyun entirely.

"You... What do you mean?" Li Xiangyun’s eyes widened in disbelief at what she was hearing.

Zhao Dahai let out a cold laugh, his bloodshot eyes piercingly fixed on Li Xiangyun, "What do I mean? It means I won’t be the squadron leader anymore, I’ll be discharged against my will, are you satisfied now?!"

"No! That’s impossible! You’re lying to me, you must be lying, aren’t you?" Li Xiangyun grabbed Zhao Dahai’s hand, asking frantically. Him no longer being the squadron leader meant that she would no longer be the squadron leader’s wife, didn’t it?

"You think I’m joking with you?" Zhao Dahai burst into manic laughter. He too wished it were a joke because if it were, he wouldn’t have lost everything he had worked so hard for.

"Dahai, I’ll go and apologize to Luo Shu, I’ll beg her for forgiveness, please ask her to let us off, okay?" Li Xiangyun truly regretted it at that moment.

As the wife of the squadron leader, every time she returned to her hometown, she was received by local leaders, welcomed with applause by the villagers. Those relatives of hers were even more eager to please her, treating her like some kind of empress. If she was no longer the squadron leader’s wife, all that glory would vanish, and she would be ridiculed and laughed at by others.

Zhao Dahai snorted disdainfully, releasing the grip on Li Xiangyun’s collar, looking at her with deadened eyes, "You think it’s still of any use? Even if you knelt down, it’s too late to turn things around now. Li Xiangyun, after this is over, we’re getting a divorce, and the child will be with me." Once this was over, he never wanted to see her again. If it weren’t for her, with his age and qualifications, he would have had the chance to rise even higher in a few years, but now, all of it had gone down the drain.
